It happened so fast...

Yesterday we were talking about getting a new bed, today we bought one. Normally making a decision of this size would take me quite some time (Mary still takes shots at me about how long it took before we got married). But since my back has been hurting it didn't take much to push me to a quick decision. Our current bed is queen size and it has a foot board. So basically I can't stretch out on it. Also it isn't very firm.

There were two requirements this new bed needed to meet: must be a California King and be firm. We ended up getting a Select Comfort Sleep Number bed. For the first time since I was a sophomore in high school, I won't have to lie diagonal to fit on the bed. For those who don't know the California King is 4" longer than either the King or Queen size bed.

Anika was with us while we were shopping and either she learned a valuable lesson or she is very devious. While I was looking at the beds Mary and Anika were looking at the stuffed dogs named Dozer that they had for sale.


While looking at one of them Anika spit up on it's front paw. While no one but Mary and Anika saw this, Mary felt obligated to purchase the dog. So either Anika learned the rule "You break it, you buy it", or she already knew it and spit up on the dog on purpose. Either way we now have a new stuffed dog at home.
